How To Watch
What to Know
North Carolina A&T has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they’ll head out on the road. The North Carolina A&T Aggies and the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens will face off in a Coastal Athletic battle at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Bob Carpenter Center. North Carolina A&T pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 13-point favorite Fightin’ Blue Hens.
Last Saturday, the Aggies beat the Tribe 76-69. That’s two games straight that North Carolina A&T has won by exactly seven points.
Landon Glasper and Camian Shell were among the main playmakers for North Carolina A&T as the former scored 27 points along with eight rebounds and the latter scored 15 points along with nine rebounds. The match was Glasper’s third in a row with at least 22.4 points.
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 34-34 at halftime, Delaware was not quite Drexel’s equal in the second half on Saturday. The Fightin’ Blue Hens suffered a grim 86-67 defeat to the Dragons. The loss unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for Delaware in their matchups with Drexel: they’ve now lost three in a row.
The loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Gerald Drumgoole Jr., who scored 18 points along with six rebounds.
The Aggies’ victory bumped their record up to 6-13. As for the Fightin’ Blue Hens, their defeat dropped their record down to 11-8.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: North Carolina A&T haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 9.5 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like Delaware struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging only 10.3 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
North Carolina A&T couldn’t quite finish off Delaware in their previous meeting back in February of 2023 and fell 73-71. Can North Carolina A&T avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.

- Feb 23, 2023 – Delaware 73 vs. North Carolina A&T 71
It has been an up-and-down offseason for the North Carolina Tar Heels, whose roster will look drastically different next season.
During these last two weeks, the Tar Heels have lost Caleb Wilson (draft), Henri Veesaar (draft), Seth Trimble (expiring eligibility), Derek Dixon (transferred to Arizona), Luka Bogavac (transferred to Oklahoma State), Jonathan Powell (transferred to Pittsburgh), and Zayden High (transferred to South Florida).
Simultaneously, North Carolina has acquired Neoklis Avdalas, Terrence Brown, Matt Able, and Maxim Logue in the portal. In the process, head coach Michael Malone retained Jarin Stevenson, Maximo Adams, Jaydon Young, and Isaiah Denis.
With all of that in mind, we will evaluate the Tar Heels’ ceiling in the conference and assess how far they can go in the NCAA tournament.
How UNC Will Fare in ACC
As currently constructed, the Tar Heels are facing an uphill battle in the conference, especially given what top-end rival teams in the ACC have done this offseason. While North Carolina has lost over half of its rotation from last season, two programs in the conference have made convincing cases for themselves as the clear-cut, tier-one teams in the ACC.
Let’s start with Louisville. The Cardinals will lose several players through the combination of the draft and expiring eligibility. However, head coach Pat Kelsey was able to acquire Flory Bidunga, Jackson Shelstad, and Karter Knox. With over $20 million invested in next season’s roster, Louisville is at worst the second-best team in the ACC.
As for Duke, the Blue Devils retained most of their backcourt and center Patrick Ngongba II, while signing Wisconsin transfer John Blackwell. Not to mention, head coach Jon Scheyer, for the third time in four years, assembled the No. 1 recruiting class.
North Carolina will remain active in the transfer portal and must continue pursuing frontcourt players, with Veesaar announcing his decision to enter the upcoming NBA draft. Heading into the final days of April, the Tar Heels’ ceiling in the ACC is the third-best team, and that may be wishful thinking.
Way-Too-Early Prediction on North Carolina’s Ceiling in March Madness
Next year’s NCAA tournament is 11 months away, with several moving parts still in the works. However, with the current state of the roster and Malone taking over as the head coach, North Carolina should be a second-weekend team.
I would not expect the Tar Heels to be eliminated in the first round for a third consecutive season. As stated, so much will happen now until that point, but if you asked me to make an educated guess, based on what has transpired this offseason, I would say North Carolina’s ceiling in March 2027 is probably the Sweet 16.

On Friday, North Carolina Tar Heels center Henri Veesaar announced his decision to enter the 2026 NBA Draft, with no intention of removing his name from the process.
Hours after the news broke, the 6-foot-11, 224-pound center shared a heartfelt goodbye to Chapel Hill and the Tar Heel faithful.
What Veesaar Said
- “This journey didn’t happen alone,” Veesaar said in a statement. “To my family – thank you for every sacrifice, every late night, every moment you believed in me before anyone else did. To my friends, teammates and coaches – thank you for being part of the grind and helping shape me into who I am today.”
Veesaar transferred to North Carolina last offseason after spending two years at Arizona. In his lone campaign with the Tar Heels, the junior center averaged 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 2.1 assists while shooting 60.8 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from three-point range. Veesaar spoke on the impact the university has made on him.
- “The University of North Carolina – thank you for the memories, the lessons and the brotherhood. It’s something I’ll carry with me forever. I’m proud to say I’m taking the next step and declaring for the NBA Draft. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey.”
North Carolina’s season abruptly ended in the first round of the NCAA against VCU. That did not appear to be the end result, as the Tar Heels held a 19-point lead halfway through the second half. Veesaar, who led the team with 26 points and 10 rebounds, shared his love for North Carolina, which should have been a sign that he was leaning towards entering the upcoming NBA draft.
- “I love the school, I love the people, I love the university, they’ve given me so much,” Veesaar said.
Overall Thoughts
Veesaar declaring for the draft is a monumental loss for head coach Michael Malone and the Tar Heels heading into next season. Now, Malone and his staff must adjust on the fly and plan accordingly. With the transfer portal closing on April 21, the options have dwindled significantly, putting North Carolina’s brass in a serious bind.
While the Tar Heels would love to bring in someone like Arizona State’s Massamba Diop, who was dominant rim protector and effective offensive piece in his freshman season in 2025. The 7-foot-1, 230-pound center does not possess the shooting ability that Veesaar has in his repertoire, but Diop still averaged 13.6 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 56.9 percent from the field.
